Cave Exploration Lofthellir Winter Challenge (from Lake Mývatn)

Cave Exploration Lofthellir winter challenge tour takes you to Lofthellir Cave, a unique lava cave filled with ice formations, stalagmites, and sculptures. During the winter season, the route to the cave can get rough, due to snow and ice, so we bring along the snowshoes along. The track is usually around 40 minutes hike across a rugged lava field. Thus we combine the pristine untouched snow covered lava fields around the cave with an underground exploration. Once at the cave we spend at least one hour inside the cave, exploring the ice formations, darkness and the strange atmosphere inside 3000-year-old lava tunnel. On route to and from the cave, we explore the lava fields and craters around Lake Mvatn, especially the crater row of Ldentarborgir.
